Using Talk

Queries and comments can be made (and 'signed' with four ~) at Teahouse, at an article Talk page, and on the Talk pages of individuals. Asking a question on your own Talk page goes nowhere, as no one views that unless asked. If you want to get the attention of a specific editor, you can 'ping' that person (but no need to do that if on their Talk page). To ping, put their User name inside double curly brackets {{ }} with a u| before the name. The vertical line is called a 'pipe' and is above the backslash.

P.S. Your name appears in red letters because you have not added any content to your User page. Look at what a few editors have on their User pages to get an idea what that is all about. David notMD (talk) 15:40, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Richard Gordon Lillard (January 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HickoryOughtShirt?4 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Richard Gordon Lillard and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Richard Gordon Lillard, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Oh dear, I am already working with someone else who is reviewing my submission. I don't know how to get it to her. Prof Mo Lill (talk) 18:19, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@HickoryOughtShirt?4: hi there, somehow when I resubmitted it went the wrong place. Is there a way for you to see the lastest in my sandbox? (The banner on this second resubmission was different from the first one you sent me. This one looked the same as a first-time submission. Thanks for any help you can give. Prof Mo Lill (talk) 01:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When I go to your sandbox, this is what I see User:Prof Mo Lill/sandbox. Is this the correct version? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 01:48, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{Ping|HickoryOughtShirt?4}} Yes, that should be the correct one. No "citations needed" in the footnotes. Prof Mo Lill (talk) 01:52, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Theroadislong (talk) 17:36, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this is exciting. A few questions: 1) If the article is "start-class," can people find this article for Richard Lillard in wikipedia if they search? (He already comes up in wikipedia because he has been quoted and mentioned in other articles.) 2) I had been working with someone else (HickoryOughtShirt? 4) as an editor. Does this mean she no longer is involved? 3) I'm not quite clear what more should be done to help develop the article? I thought I had put in enough citations, and I thought I had the correct wikipedia tone. Can you give me some pointers? Or should I ask HickoryOughtShirt? 5) What do you mean that I could "create an article myself" without posting a request? Would I get out of "start class" by doing that? That seems odd. I also asked these questions on the help page. Thanks again for this great news. Prof Mo Lill (talk) 21:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Prof Mo Lill, I can answer a couple. The template above is a bit misleading. I strongly encourage anyone with a COI to use WP:YFA or other draft submitting processes. The Start class rating is about the article itself. Check out our quality assessment scale to see how to improve. If you wish to create an article you are not connected to, simply type their name in the Wikipedia search bar and click the You may create the page header underneath it.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:28, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hickory, thanks for all your help. I'm happy that this article is up. Should I have someone else resubmit it, someone without a COI? Or just let it be there? It looks as if someone without a COI will need to remove the template. Shall I just wait a while and see who wants to edit? Anyway, your suggestions have been invaluable. Thanks again.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Richard Gordon Lillard (May 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Richard Gordon Lillard instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion.

If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

This draft is either essentially the same as the article with the same name, or a subset of the article with the same name. The draft will be replaced by a redirect from draft space to the article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Richard Gordon Lillard and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Richard Gordon Lillard, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
